Naming of Ancients and Iterators

[weester9]

I'm not the first to think the ancients and iterators have weird names. Are there any deeper meanings behind them, or are they weird for the sake of being weird?

''seven ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suns'' ''five pepsi'' ''looks to the wtf moon''
''6 grapes of rain'' the AI on my brain generated those names.

[Mr. Dino]

because the ancients are ancient

iterator is self explanatory. look up the definition of "iteration"

i, as an ancient, am going to bring you insight
have you ever heard of the rule of cool?

thats most likely their way of writing names, since ancient language is much different than english, communicating through symbols/characters as their language, naturally their names are way different than ours too! let me give an example from the chinese language, keep in mind im very beginner in it so i may get some minor facts wrong:

chinese names are taken directly from the words of the language, for example the name "Wang (王)" means king, and the name "Yi (怡)" means joy or harmony. Some names are also combinations of 2 words like "Xing fu (幸福)" which means "happy" or "blessed" when combined.

the name system for ancients is probably:

(amount of an object)(comma or a connecting word)(amount of a different object)
amount can be unspecified
then capitalize everything except the connecting word

examples from game:
"Nineteen Spades, Endless Reflections" or "A Bell, Eighteen Amber Beads" or "Droplets upon Five Large Droplets"

a name like "One Rain World Player with Zero Showers" would be valid according to this too
not really sure about iterator names? seems to be just a phrase.

its probably a spiritual thing
